Awesome playing! It is nice to see a classical player that can memorize a piece. Also, Chris Abell makes some of the best flutes and whistles in the world. His work is unbelievable.
Ms. Agnew, I, on the other hand, found the "noise" contributed to the performance and made it one of the most intimate recordings of this piece I've ever heard. More like the experience of being the player rather than the audience, or maybe of being in an audience that is so small that we are only a few feet from the performer. It also added to the performance in giving the listener a rare sense of the physicality of the instrument itself -- it's a different thing to hear this on a wooden flute rather than a silver one -- and hearing the action of the valves, that soft pop of the valve covers, the silver hitting the cork, breathes the same kind of life into your performance that well, hearing your breathing makes. It's alive in a way that Bach himself or his audience in a chamber would have heard, and that makes it memorable and rare. If not for that, if the desired result is this complete disconnect from the reality of the instrument (lest the production be "ruined"), why not just crank it out on a synthesizer? Those things make it a performance (and a wonderful one)!
This performance was utterly divine! Perfection! Heavenly! The Abell Flute is unparalleled! And the way you express it, so passionate and Virtuosic. Your timbre is very reedy and pungent. I could listen to you all day! Btw for those haters the "clicking" is a result of cork kickers, a precise pad job, and amazing craftsmanship. That percussive "pop" is indicative of a well made Flute.... So y'all can take several seats, Every seat and listen to this beautiful work of artisanship.
@@tomswiftyphilo2504 Indeed, good eye, it is a very high end, Handmade Flute in aged Grenadilla (M'Pingo or African Blackwood.) Sterling mechanism, Made by the Abell Flute Company. Truly an exquisite and highly coveted masterpiece.
I am just transported to the cultural climes with this recording of Bach Partita for Solo Flute, never before have I heard this in my entirety, love it or him !!!!
Key noise definitely is a problem, you see the distance of the fingers from the keys , just lower the finger ! Always hold the keys! Except this noise, I would to say she’s playing perfectly! The lower tone so relaxing and clean! High tone also so clean!
This is an incredible performance and flute. You can only hear key noise because she’s not mic’ed properly for flute but that’s not her fault or the flutes fault
@JoshJNYC Thanks for your comments Josh, I'm glad you like the video. There is actually a microphone placed above my head which you can't see in the video which seems to exaggerate the key noise quite a bit. It isn't an issue with the flute itself as you'll hear from the other videos I've posted using this instrument. Thanks :)
I like how the sound of the wooden flute has body. The low notes don't sound overblown and unstable, as though they might jump up an octave. The tone is even throughout the range played. Obviously a very fine instrument. Powell? I enjoyed the interpretation, too.
Anche se è un flauto moderno quindi con cameratuta cilindrica, la timbrica è una via di mezzo tra un flauto barocco ed uno moderno qundi preferibile per questo repertorio ad un flauto metallico. Bella esecuzione; sicuramente è un flauto molto costoso e mi fa specie che abbia una meccanica così rumorosa!
I don't know if the problem is the location of the mic, but in this video the noise of the flute is really annoying. Nice play though, but, in case the problem is not the mic, get a new flute! :-)
Transverse Flute is the technical term used for Flutes like the one you see her playing. Flute is the broad categorization for any number of instrument called a flute like Native American Flutes, Pan Flutes, etc. Transverse is more specific.
very beautiful performance, thank you! is that a baroque flute? I used to play flute traverse and am very interested buying a baroque flute since I love baroque music the most. can someone please advise where to look for it?>=
@nsrAgnew Ah, well that explains it. Lord knows I've been a victim of some super-mic'ed key noise. :) Is the Abell your primary flute? His instruments are really magnificent! (The Mendelssohn Scherzo recording on my channel was made with my Abell, and I just LOVED that flute!) You really do a fantastic job of maximizing the tone color potentials of the wood flute...love all your videos! :)
@@jadawilson292 I didn't criticise her for her breathing, I said that the microphone could perhaps be placed elsewhere to reduce that sound. You need to learn to read.
sorry, I find her interpretation stiff and lacking in subtleties of articulation and phrasing. Got the notes right and there are very many - but that’s just a start. Try Kate Clark, Emmanuel Pahud.

thats funny that commenter says bachs audience would have heard the click clack of keys when baroque flutes only had one key
@@Thesomeguy248 true but by Mozart's time, or Beethoven's the flutes already had several keys so what's the problem?
HEAVEN
Beautiful !
Gorgeous tone, wonderful interpretation and I love the key popping! How wonderfully authentic. Thank you!❤️
Bravo!

can you say more about the flute? from the look of it I assume it's grenadilla, but this is obviously not my field

You can make even Bach,sound warm.
What a wonderful interpretation! Great sound, too...I've always loved Chris' flutes. The key noise is a bit distracting, though...

Brava!
Fine performance ....and from memory!
Wow! Perfection. Thank you so much for posting. 🙏
Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful sound and beautiful interpretation! Thanks for making my week!!!
Love your phrasing!
Bravo. Quelle simplicité, quelle sensibilité et quelle sonorité !
Tjs admiratif devant la technique de production du son sur un traverso , n'étant déjà pas très doué sur les détachés rapides à la flûte à bec.
Key noise definitely is a problem, you see the distance of the fingers from the keys , just lower the finger ! Always hold the keys! Except this noise, I would to say she’s playing perfectly! The lower tone so relaxing and clean! High tone also so clean!
Just beautiful.
wow!! gorgeous!! you gave me a great inspiration about that!
Really lovely interpretation!
Your sound like baroque flute !
I have never knowned that Abell's flute has good sound.
Nice flute and Nice playing.
just amazing
thank you for sharing this
This is sublime
Beautiful :) Thanks for the great recording!
great performance!! very nice! congratulations!!
Desconcentra el sonido de la maquinaria del instrumento.
magnifique!!!
Great sound! This flute is amazing!
Congratulations.
Amazing!!
beautiful playing!
Suena la maquinaria del instrumento. Sound of machine.
Merci !
This is an incredible performance and flute. You can only hear key noise because she’s not mic’ed properly for flute but that’s not her fault or the flutes fault
Maravillosa
Excelente interpretação!!! parabéns!!

BRAVA. CIAO DALL ITALIA
I really enjoyed this! Very nice!
Además de belleza corporal sopla un Bach. Admirabilis!!!
Excelente !!!
Enjoyed it! Thank you!
huy que talento y dedicacion muy hermosas melodias!! que deleite!!
that's the best interpretation of the allemande of this partita, I guess it's played the way Bach intended to have it played
Molto brava nella tecnica e nell ispirazione!!!
Complimenti||
Fantastic Ash! Nice to hear you again and reconnect on youtube. Its been a while. You sound wonderful. best wishes from New York, where I live now.
nice, I love your interpretation, you sound beautiful.
Nice feeling of playing! This keyed instrument sounds so machinelike :D
I like how the sound of the wooden flute has body. The low notes don't sound overblown and unstable, as though they might jump up an octave. The tone is even throughout the range played. Obviously a very fine instrument. Powell? I enjoyed the interpretation, too.
Abell if I ever saw one
very nice, keep it up!
lovely lady. good performance. her flute is wonderful too.
Very nice1 Abel wooden flute?
Exactly what Bach intended.

this is the difference between Traverse Flute and Flute. Sounds more clear and brighter.
Transverse Flute is the technical term used for Flutes like the one you see her playing. Flute is the broad categorization for any number of instrument called a flute like Native American Flutes, Pan Flutes, etc. Transverse is more specific.
É A FLAUTA ENVOLVENTE QUE MEXE COM A GENTE
@YANAGITAtokinori ; Patrick Gallios plays on a wooden Chris Abell flute also.
Is a flute like that much heavier or lighter than a regular flute (one made of silver or nickel or something)? Really beautiful sound by the way :)
very beautiful performance, thank you! is that a baroque flute? I used to play flute traverse and am very interested buying a baroque flute since I love baroque music the most. can someone please advise where to look for it?>=
Thanks! This isn't actually a baroque flute, it is a modern wooden flute with a Boehm key system. I think Bach sounds amazing on both though.
that flute is beautiful! how much did it cost!...more than i can afford but i still wanna know.
@nsrAgnew Ah, well that explains it. Lord knows I've been a victim of some super-mic'ed key noise. :) Is the Abell your primary flute? His instruments are really magnificent!

Bach é o deus da Semicolcheia... Bach is the god of the half quarter notes....😂🎼
@flutejory Thanks, I have known P.gallois use it,too. but his sound of piazzola's cd is not good, I think. probably the wood is too light.
What noise is this? The flute sound is amazing.
Muito bom. Eu amo a flauta , Que tipo é exatamente?
I'm playing the Sarabande movement for solo and ensemble on concert flute. Do you have any advice on playing this piece?
Manifico ...
What brand of flute is that?
Chris Abell, I think.
@asiandancer51896 I dont know...but would imagine 10/ 12k dollars ..in case nsr is too modest to say...wooden flutes are expensive!
flute is sankio?
A Chris Abell.
Grässlich 🙉
木製だけどバッハの時代のフルートでなく近代的なベーム式フルートだね。
so noise button sound
It seems to pitch flat in the lower register. Is this true, or is it a trick of the recording?
I like this, but the breaths are too loud. Perhaps a microphone in a different position/at a different distance?
She's playing a large B flat flute that takes a lot of air. You sound very ignorant
@@jadawilson292
I didn't criticise her for her breathing, I said that the microphone could perhaps be placed elsewhere to reduce that sound.
You need to learn to read.
oh no peech
Is this a Scottish Flute?!??
My dear,
Magical.. but please get a sound engineer to record your stuff..
Your piece makes so much noise that is ruining your production
What's wrong with valve noise?
I'm with you. I love Aisling's playing, but have never heard this before. Mic too close?
We don't want to hear key slamming Matthew Hume, we want to hear only the beautiful air tones.
that "we" is not for me, I enjoy that soft paw of a invisible cat who for a change want to play with B A C H
More like mechanical harsh and disruptive robotic clacking. Annoying.

A fine player, but much of the phrasing seems detrimental to me.
